Social implications in the drama of the United States, 1920-1940

Abstract

This thesis illustrates by means of quotations from plays written in the United States from 1920 to 194O the statement that modern American drama is a mirror of the thought of the times. Present day drama will be studied by the scholars of the future for the history of civilization in the twentieth century as modern scholars now study the plays of the past for their reflection of contemporaneous thinking.
